Moneyless World - Free World - Priceless World: San Diego

Could not have said it better myself. This moneyless traveler visited the city where I live, and aptly put into words the vibrations here and most of this country. SD is heavily militarized and a microcosm of the direction this country is taking with its emphasis on wars and imperialism. I'm not advocating going 'moneyless' per se, but I do advocate dropping out of the zombie zone of living and mindless consumption of things (debt) and errant media. Viewing life through the eyes of the homeless, seeing ourselves as we really appear to be is an incredibly eye-opening experience. Cops stopping you at every turn, 'can't stand here, don't do that' - indeed, the end of liberty.

"You simply cannot live without money and be legal here. I suppose that's true all over the US, but especially here. But I can also see it from the viewpoint of law enforcement. There are simply too many people here, and it's out of control. Everybody wanted to move to beautiful southern Cali, and everything turned into money and privatization and business and military. Humanity has been almost squeezed out of the picture. You try to rest your bones at a business, the owners shoe you away. You try to rest your bones on 'public' land, the cops shoe you away. You walk, you're tresspassing. You hitch-hike, you're an illegal 'threat.' If you live free, you remind people that something matters besides business, and that might be bad for the economy. But people are 'free': 'free' to shop, 'free' to buy plastic surgery and botox and silicon injections, and look at all the 'freedom' of choice at supermarkets and malls! Okay, I'm seeing this place from a different viewpoint than most. But few get to see it from the bottom. So now you get to see it from homeless eyes. I hope it's a bit uncomfortable for you."
